Ingredients

Directions

  • In a large skillet heat oil over medium. Add chicken. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Adjust heat so chicken sizzles but doesn't burn. Cook 5 to 8 minutes, undisturbed, until browned and releases easily from pan.

  • Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium bowl combine tomato paste and vinegar. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the sage, and crushed red pepper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk until sauce is smooth.

  • Turn chicken. Cook 5 minutes more or until browned and releases easily from pan. Scatter mushrooms and garlic into skillet. Pour sauce over mixture. Shake pan once or twice to combine. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes, uncovered, or until chicken just separates from the bone (175°F), carefully shaking pan a couple of times. Season to taste. Serves 4.
